Mindfulness is for everyone at any age and can reduce fear and stress

Walks Tall the moon is a wonderful book that can help adults as well as children learn how to practice mindfulness and integrates the Native American teachings of the elders and the gift of the Vision Quest. It is a story that touches the soul and helps us learn the power of breath and being present

Awesome for parents and kids

I bought this book with my ten year old son in mind. I am a mental health counselor and a mom of three kids. My son has big emotions and struggles with anxiety. We work a lot on mindfulness, mediation and CBT technqiues to help him deal with these things. Walks Tall the Moon was a perfect compliment to what we have already been doing. There are over a dozen techniques in the book that deal with mindfulness and/or mediaton and/or stress relief. My son and I read a chapter each night and practiced each technique together. The other day when he was having a hard day we were able to utilize one of the techniques in the book and he was able to calm down. I love that at the end of the book Dr. Bollendorf lists all the techniques in a list. That list makes it easy for the reader to remember the technique so in the heat of the moment one can use it. The techniques are very simple, easy to learn, easy to remember and easy to use! Awesome book for both parents and kids!

A little treasure

This book is a little treasure. The beautiful illustrations and the sepia-edged pages give it a feel of something old and quite valuable. And though it is a new book, it is certainly valuable. Written in a quiet and calming style, the author accomplishes a dual purpose. He draws children into an interesting story and uses that story to teach simple techniques of mindfulness that children can readily incorporate into their daily lives. Linking the story and the teaching helps children lock in the concepts more effectively than had the author simply described the mindfulness methods. I recommend this book especially for elementary-aged children.
